p.2 Ashore - The steamer Corsican left the harbour yesterday on her trip up the lake, but such was the state of the sea that she had to run into South Bay for shelter. On attempting to get out this morning about 4 o'clock she ran aground on South Bay Point where she now lies with six feet of water in her hold. Her passengers were taken off by the steamer Algerian, which was on her way up. The purser of the Corsican came down on the Magnet for assistance.

Marine Notes

There are no arrivals of grain to note this morning. There is now little prospect of much more being done this season.

Wind - southwest; blowing a gale. The water raised in the harbour at one time over the stone coping. There was a heavy rain storm in the forenoon.

Melancholy Drowning of Three Men - left to draw some fishing nets and drowned in a gale off the head of Wolfe Island - James Abbott Kiel, son of Peter Kiel, Inspector of Fisheries; Adam Burwell Abbott; Sandford Marlowe, a nephew of Mr. Kiel's.
